We have stayed on Club sites in Yorkshire previously but this Autumn was our first visit to stay at Knaresborough. The smiling welcome at check in is standard at nearly all of the club sites wherever we have stayed and Knaresborough is no exception and with the warden making a suggestion as to the best pitch for our stay we were off to a very good start. The fully serviced pitch that we occupied for 5 nights was reasonably level and the only adjustment needed for our caravan was easily achieved by adjustment of the jockey wheel. The ethos of peace and quiet is preserved by the use of hand carts by the site staff to empty bins so no noisy machines and this was greatly appreciated although we realise that it may not be so practicable on larger sites. The sanitary conveniences are cleaned to the clubs normal high standards but would be improved by increasing the number of WC cubicles as there are not enough during peak times of the day. We enjoyed a pleasant and reasonably priced evening meal in the Wanderer restaurant with friends who live in the area. There is a local pub, the Guy Fawkes just 5 minutes walk away in the village of Scutton with a range of real ales and pub food but at higher prices than can be found in the Wanderer. The Information room is well organised and tidy and the wardens have thoughtfully provided pre- printed 'tear of' slips of paper with directions to local services and the route for a wonderful walk in the Nidd Gorge to Knaresborough. The city of York is close by (only 15 miles in the car) and easily accessed by using the Park & Ride which also has parking for Motor Homes. The weather was dreadful during our stay with much heavy rain but it did not detract from our stay and we will definitely return. Just one note of caution for when you are leaving the site the side road from the Site Entrance exits onto the busy Ripon - Knaresborough Road and extra care is need due to undulations in the road particularly from the right hand side.
